Very interesting article. I didn’t know that they could tell where you lived by studying the hair. I do know that everything that you put into your body comes out through your hair. Including medicine, anesthesia, vitamins and etc.

It makes you think about what we are consuming and all of the toxins we are breathing in.

I think you can find the answer to your question in this article. It says that your hair can tell scientists where you live, so the composition of a person’s hair depends upon where he/she lives. It means your hair changes when you move to a different climate or country and scientists can see the difference under micrscopic conditions or through hair analysis which tells you the chemical makeup of the hair.

That is interesting, but in this day and age, not that surprising. Our bodies take in residues from the environment and so it is only a question of analysis. But fascinating none the less.

Great question. Wonder if scientists have done studies to see if your hair changes when you move to a different climate or country. Do you know anything about that?

Wow I never knew there was so much that can be told of by just a strand of your hair. Very interesting post. I am amazed at what scientist find out these days. I wonder if you move to a new state how long it takes for your hair to change for them to know?

Crazy or exciting?

I’m interested to see what else they will be able to find out about you by a hair sample in the future. Science is crazy these days.

This is interesting that you can find where someone is from based on their hair. It is amazing where science is taking us these days.

Very valuable information you have here. I loved reading it. Thanks for sharing this. I never thought that you could tell where a person lived with the use of hair. Interesting.

The study was focused on people who lives in various towns. Your question is interesting because I live in north of Chicago, IL, U.S. and would like to know if people who live closer to O’Hare Airport would have more chemical toxicity in their hair samples than people who lived about 20 miles away from an airport.

Other studies that would benefit all of us are studies of people who live near a cell receiving tower. Hmmm. Who would like to take that one on?
